Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
That is so awesome it could be a sequel and prequel at the same time.
(All you'd need is time-travel.)

Has everyone already seen the trailer for the E.T. sequel? [link]
Ha, that's really well done.

The Femme Fatale: Misogynist strawwoman, or protofeminist forerunner? [link]
Linda Fiorentino's character in The Last Seduction was the last great femme fatale I saw on screen, I think. Bonus points for her 1) being the protagonist to the story, rather than a catalyst for some dude's angst, and 2) not dying or being carted off to jail at the end.
Oh, I almost forgot -- I thought Laura from Brick, played by what's-her-face from Everwood, was a good take on the classic femme fatale archetype. But Brick is such a throwback to the 40's noir anyway.

Annalee from IO9 about Drive Angry:
I have never seen a gunfight between a man unleashed from hell and devil worshipers, while said man is simultaneously having sex with a woman and drinking Jack Daniels. Yes, there is actually a scene where this happens in Drive Angry, and it's possibly the most badass thing I have ever witnessed. Nic Cage is humping his lady friend, shooting with one hand, and swigging from the bottle with his other.
